"Mean Machine" is a song by American rock band Sugar Ray. It was released as the lead single from the band's debut album, Lemonade and Brownies . The song peaked at No. 45 on the Radio & Records active rock chart. ^[1]

Biographer Anna Louise Golden described the song as "ruthlessly fast metal" with electronic accents from DJ Lethal. The song's musical style blended British-style hard rock and heavy metal with American rockabilly elements. Golden said the song was "too heavy and fast" to be a bigger chart hit at the time. ^[2]
